Hi, I am not sure if this or ncc-services-wg is the best place for this but I have now 2 times recently gotten this reply from the NCC for not being able to reply to my ticket within 24h. this time and will process it the following business day. I really don't get the point of doing this, there is an auto reply confirming you have received my email so if I don't get a reply within 24h I assume that you had too many tickets or it is a holiday or something. I mainly also wanted to ask if others are also receiving this? -Cynthia
Hi, I and some of my customers have also received the same message several times over the past few days. It’s the RIPE NCC’s way to cheat the numbers and ‘hide’ the bad way they violate the SLA agreement constantly. I wish they would stop doing that. Either reply to the user or not, and if you do not and the SLA numbers show you screw up too often… hire more people, automate more of the process, find a way to respect the SLA but not by cheating… Elvis PS: I even asked about this at the RIPE Meeting and there are for the past few months 20%+ (hundreds or thousands a month) tickets that do NOT receive a reply within the SLA, imagine if you add the tickets where they cheat and do send a worthless message (like the ones you and I have receives over the past few days)… On Thu, May 27, 2021 at 10:50 Cynthia Revström via members-discuss < members-discuss@ripe.net> wrote:

We actually have an open ticket right now where the NCC has first told us they'll get to it next day, then the day after sent another response saying they didn't get it done after all and will get back to us another day later. Let's see what happens today. I don't really have an issue with resource requests not being replied to in a day, but I agree that this seems to be only done for better statistics, which really shouldn't be the focus.

Dear Cynthia, Elvis and others, Thank you for raising this. There's two aspects to cover here: our notification emails and the longer wait times. At RIPE 82 last week, Felipe clarified that we send these notifications to assure members that their request is being worked on. Every ticket that doesn't get a response by 18:00 (UTC +2) the following working day is counted as a "miss" against our internal targets. Our notification emails are not counted here, and we don't see much point in trying to game our own statistics. Besides tracking how many tickets get a response within one business day, we are also starting to measure the ticket resolution time, aiming to bring this down overall. Regarding the longer wait times, this is caused by a couple of factors. We recently added extra steps to our due diligence checks, which are mostly related to EU sanctions compliance. Additionally, we have a higher number of tickets overall which has also been impacted by the recent bank holidays and all this has created a backlog. We are working very hard to respond to all requests within one working day. Unfortunately, some requests will take longer as we catch up, and we apologise for the delay. We are busy addressing these issues and you should see an improvement soon. If members do not see value in these emails, we can take another look at our process. Of course, our focus is on making sure we respond to all requests in a timely manner.

Hi Marco and all, I do just want to put it on the record that I find those holding emails perfectly fine, and actually I prefer to receive them over nothing especially while we don't have access to the backing Zendesk. It's nice to know the ticket hasn't been forgotten about, and something within the system has identified that it is still waiting for a response and is running late. An automated holding email probably prevents many other chasing emails that members may send. Thanks Harry On Fri, May 28, 2021 at 1:06 PM Marco Schmidt <mschmidt@ripe.net> wrote:
